Linear voltage-controlled current source

Extends from Interfaces.TwoPort (Component with two electrical ports, including current).

Information

The linear voltage-controlled current source is a TwoPort. The right port current i2 is controlled by the left port voltage v1 via

i2 = v1 * transConductance.

The left port current is zero. Any transConductance can be chosen.
